2026 Schedule Unveiled
Head coach Jess Mannella of the Saint Joseph's women's soccer program has released the full slate for the 2026 season, a 18‑game campaign that features a ten‑match Atlantic 10 conference schedule and nine contests at the team's home venue, Sweeney Field.
The campaign opens on August 12, 2026 with a home matchup against Drexel, and will immediately test the Hawks with a three‑game road stretch at Lafayette, Bucknell and Temple in August and early September.
Early in the season the team will face two opponents that earned berths in last year's NCAA Tournament, adding a competitive edge to the non‑conference slate.
Three of the next four games will be played on familiar ground, with contests against Vermont, Wagner and George Mason scheduled at Sweeney Field, while a local rivalry with Penn is set for September 10.
Mid‑season action includes an A‑10 road swing to Davidson and George Washington in late September, followed by a alternating home‑and‑away pattern in October against VCU, Fordham, Saint Louis and Rhode Island.
The regular season will conclude with an away game at Loyola Chicago on November 1, after which the Atlantic 10 Championship will commence with quarterfinal matches on November 6 and 7, semifinals on November 11, and the title game on November 15, all hosted by the higher seed.
Championship Outlook
All tournament games will be staged at the venue of the higher seed, giving the Hawks a chance to host early rounds if they secure a favorable ranking. The schedule sets the stage for a potentially deep run in the conference tournament.
